Patented Aug. 11, 1931 P O F F ICE EDMUND J. REEDE, OFSILVERIEON,OREGOZN" TOOL Application filed-April 1 1929. Serial No. 351,785.

This invention -ielates t too ls, and its general objectis to provide apan of pl1ers that inclucle socketed jaws adapted t0 receive toolelements of various forms te accomplish various work the tool elementsb'eingremovable andinterchangeable with respect to the jaws in an easyand expeditious mannen An,important.object of the invention is toprovicle apair of pliers with attachments therefor. thatcooperrte foruse in adjusting, removing and -tightening the pivot pins of seissors,shears and like implements.

A further object of the invention is to "provide a tool in the form of:apair of pliers with tool element inserts therefor, that is extremelysimple in construction, inexpen sive to. manufacture, and efficient inoperation ancl service.

This invention als0 consists in certain ether features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustratecl in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in the appendecl claim.

In clescribing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying cl rawings wherein like characters denete like o1corresponcling parts throughout the several views, and in which:

.Figure 8 illustrates means f0r securing the pliers to a werk bench withmeans for holding the jaws thereof in fixed relatien Figure 7 is a viewof still another tool through the medium of the l1anclles of the pliers.

F igi1ie 9 is a perspectii e view of one of the removable vise toolelements as shown in Fignre 8.

Figure 10 is a" fragmentary view illustratingthe applicat-ion 0 mypliers and teel element as shown in Figure 1 as well as the wrench, inuse withanother type of pivot means f01 s'hears.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference numeral 1 inclicatesa pairof pliers which inclucle the usual handles 2 having formeeltherewith jaws 3 and 4.

As, shown in Figures 1 and 10, one of the jaws is provided with a squarecornerecl bore 5 extendingtherethrough anclthis bore has arranged ine0mmunication therewitlr a recess 6 disposed in the face thereof whichtogether with the face of the confronting jaw is serr-ated in the=usualmanner.

Tl1e bore 5 as well as the recess 6 is adapted to receive any of theelements as shown in Figures 6 ancl7, and the tool element as shown inFigure 5 is clisposecl in theboreand recessin Figures 1 and 10.

This last mentioned tool element is indicated by the reference numeral 7and includes ashank 8 te be receiveclin the -bore 5 and a bedy 9 whichis formeclwith converging sicle walls terminating in a sharp eclge 10adaptecl t0 act in the capacity of a screw driver and this edge isarranged in the kerf of the pivot"pins forthe shears as shown in Figures1 and 10. Formed in the side of the jaw thatis provicled with the boreand reeess, is a threaded b0re 11 that receives a set screw 12 whichengages theshank of the tool elements f0r securing the latterto the jawas best shown in Figure 3. The head of the set screws12 are countersunkin the awso a sto n0t interfere with the eflicient use of the tool as-willbe apparent.

In Fignre l,thenppermost blacle of the shears is threaded t0aecommoclate the threadsoi the pivotpin that passes throigh the blades,with the resultthe blacles canbe rotated in the position desiredf0rloosening includes a shank 15 of the tool element 7 Wi1i hoid the pivotpin against movement.

In Figure 10 the pivot pin likewise has its head receiving the body 9,but in this form, the pi"ot pin is not threaded to either of the blades01" the shears but has secured thereto u nut whioh is held againstmovement by a wrench 13 shown in Figure 4, the wrench being providedwith a reiatively wide portion having nut receiving openings of varioussizes and shapes and a handle 14. The wrench is used to threztd the nutof the pivot pin on and 0] the letter as will be apparent, and the body9 Wi1l hold the pivot pin against turning.

'Ihe tool element as shown in Fignre 6 and a Het square body 16, theshank being adapted to be IGCGVGCI in the bore 5, while the body isreceived in the recess 6.

The tool element in Figure 7 is in the form of a punch and includes {1.shank 17 and 21 conical body 18, with 1, bore extending through the bodyas well as through the shank 17 to provide for the passage of portionspunched from leether, metal or the like, it depending of course upon thematerial punched.

In Figure 8, I have illustrated a pair of pliers having bores ormed ineach of the jaws which for distinetion are indicated by the referencenumerals 19 and 20 and adapted to be received in these j2tws are theshank portions 21 of tool elements that have body portions 22 in theform of. vise jaws, as it will be noted upon inspection 0' Figure 9 thatthe body portion 22 is relati"ely wide and has a flat operating facethat is adapted to cooperate with a like vise tool element for securinga piece of work between the jaws of the vise tool elements. For thepurpose of securing the aws in fixed relation I provide a rod 23 havingthreaded ends and which is adapted to be passed through openings formedin the handles of the jaws 19 and 20, and secured to one of the threadedends is a nut 24 while the other threaded end receives a wing nut 25.The pliers are held in fixed relation with respect to a W01k bench orthe like through the medium of a ciamping band 26 having rounded ends toengage the handles and this band 26 has en opening complish vnriouswork.

It is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages andnovel feat-ures of my invention Will be readily apparent.

I desi1e it to be understood that I may make changes in the constructionand in the combination end arrangement of the several parts, providedthat such changes fa1i within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is:

A tool comprising pivoted jaws having flat serrated opposing aces,handles for the jaws, one of said jaws having a rectangular shapedopening extending through the respecti"e serrated face thereof andhaving in said last mentioned ace a rectangular si1aped recess about theopening, a shank having sqnared feces received in the opening, a head onthe shank and seated in the recess and having converging Walls to pro-Vide EL thin edge to be 16C61V8C1 in the groeve of a screw forconnecting the blades of scissors and with the end of the screw inengagement with the serrated fuce of the other j2tw, and a set screwcarried by the j2tW having the opening und engaging the shank.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EDMUN D J. REEDE.
